I had posted a few times about
a surgery that I was posted have this month. It got cancelled at first because of some problems at the hospital and now it has been cancelled again..this time because it is apparently not necessary any more :) :) :) soo happy about
this!
I was on Humira for almost two years and recently stopped as I just did not think it was helping enough and I was always getting sick on it so I thought it was best to stop. The last couple months on it my glands on the left side of my neck were huge. One was soo big you could see it sticking out. I was told I needed it removed to check for lymphoma as this is a side effect..albeit RARE...of Humira. I was also told having UC puts you in a risk group for Lymphoma as well.
Over the past couple of weeks as I was waiting for my second surgery date to approach i noticed it had gotten smaller...so today I checked in with the surgeon for his opinion and he agreed that YES it did get smaller and that if it was something like cancer it woulc not flucuate in size.
I am so happy and wanted to share this with everyone and espeically those I had spoken to about Humira and this experience.
